Attic restoration after animal damage
Once the animals are gone, the damage stays. Droppings, urine and nesting material soak into the insulation. Tunnels flatten it. The hole they came in through is still open in your roofline.
Red Bird handles the full attic restoration. We remove the contaminated insulation, sanitize the attic, repair the entry points at the roof and reinsulate to the recommended R-value. Active wildlife must be removed or excluded by an appropriately licensed wildlife control professional before restoration begins.
Signs animals are in your attic
The animals we see most in Indiana attics
Raccoons
Tear through roof vents, soffits and shingles. Leave heavy damage and latrine areas.
Squirrels
Chew through fascia, soffits and vent screens, then nest in the insulation.
Bats
Enter through small gaps at the ridge and flashing. Protected in Indiana, so timing matters.
Birds
Nest in vents and exhaust openings, blocking airflow.
Mice and rats
Fit through tiny gaps, tunnel through insulation and chew wiring.
Why contaminated insulation has to come out
Animal waste and nesting material require a careful cleanup plan. The CDC advises against sweeping or vacuuming rodent droppings because disturbing them can spread contaminated dust.
Adding insulation over contaminated material leaves the underlying problem in place. Have the affected area assessed before cleanup and reinsulation.
Our attic cleanup and restoration process
Animal removal
Arrange removal or exclusion with an appropriately licensed wildlife control professional before cleanup begins.
Damage inspection
We photograph damage to insulation, wiring, vents and the roofline. The photos help with insurance claims.
Removal and sanitizing
The cleanup plan addresses contaminated material, appropriate containment, and cleaning before new insulation is installed. Methods depend on the contamination found during inspection.
Seal the roofline
We repair vents, soffits, fascia and flashing where animals got in and add heavy-gauge guards where they chew or pry.
Air seal and reinsulate
We seal the attic floor and install new insulation to R-49 or higher.
Animals in your attic? Let's make it right
Free attic inspection with photos of every problem area.
We seal the problem where it starts: your roof
Most attic cleanup companies work only inside the attic. The entry point is outside, on the roof. Because we are roofers, we repair the vents, soffits, fascia and flashing animals used to get in. Your new insulation stays clean.
If the damage is bigger than a patch, we can handle roof repair in the same visit.
Wildlife damage and homeowners insurance
Coverage depends on your policy. Many policies exclude damage from rodents and insects but may cover sudden damage from larger animals like raccoons. We document everything with photos so you have what your adjuster needs.

Attic cleanup and restoration FAQ
Does Red Bird remove the animals?
Animal removal and exclusion must be handled by an appropriately licensed wildlife control professional. Ask Red Bird about the cleanup, roof repairs and reinsulation needed afterward.
Can I add new insulation on top of contaminated insulation?
No. Soiled insulation holds odors and bacteria and has lost much of its R-value. It has to come out first.
Is it safe to clean an attic myself?
We do not recommend it. Animal droppings can carry disease, and the CDC advises against sweeping or vacuuming rodent droppings dry.
When can bats be removed in Indiana?
Bats are protected in Indiana, and exclusion is restricted during the summer maternity season when young bats cannot fly. An appropriately licensed wildlife control professional can confirm lawful exclusion timing.
How much does attic cleanup cost in Carmel?
